Tea ORIGIN OF "HAI ColMBIA.
In the year 1708, 'when patrioti
feelin~g- pervaded the country, an,
when-there' were-several parties i:
the field, - Mr.. Fox, a young playei
who was more admired for his vocs
thane histrionic powers. called on
moring upon his friend, Mr. Hopkir
son, -and after stating that the follon~
ing evening had beeni appointed fo
his.:beneflt, and expressing a gren
fear for the result, as not a singi
boxc had been taken, begged his frien4
said Fox, "you will write me som
*patriotic verses to the tune of th
'President's March,' 1 feel sure of
fullihouse. Several of the people abou
the 'theatre have. atttempted it, bu
they have come .to the conclusion tha
it cannot be done: yet I think you ma:
suceeed." Mr.* Hopkinson retired ti
his study, and in a short time wrot
the-first verse and chorus, which wa
submitd to Mrs. Hopkinson, wi
sang them at a piano accompaniment
and' proved the measure to be coin
pa~,tible aind in keeping. In this wa;
-the second and other verses were wril
- ten, and when Mr. Fox returned ii
the evening, he received with deligh
the song as It now stands.
The following morning, small hanel
bills agnounced that Mr. Fox woul,
sing a new patriotic song, etc. Th
theatre was crowded; the song wva
sung and received with rapture; it wa
repeated eight times, and again er
cored; a-d when sung the ninth timc
the whole audience stood up and joir
ed in the cho~rus. Night after nigi
"Hlail Columbia" cheered the visions c

"A statement appeared in the Re
public, with reference to a- contestei
case in the Pension Olliee, ifrecting th
cntfuetii n hrtolare laced..
th %, higraniting penlwionstdidr
aid children. of deceased soldiers.
The matter was not at all 'corroctf
stated, and as it is one of import-an.
I give the following as the facts : Ti1
law in question provides that 'in cas,
of the death of the widow of a sold-ei
then the pension shall revert to the de
ceased soldier's children. There th,
law stops; but Secretary Thomas Ew
ing decided 'that although the act"
Congress goes no further than to th
children, the common law steps in an
carries to any other heirs. This decie
ion has governed the matter since.
Gov. McClelimnd, the present Secretfl
ry of the Interior, 'has, however, d
cided that this construction of the laN
is wrong. If the Pension law hai
passed previous to the einlistnent an
service of the soldier, then it woul<
have formed a part of his emolumen
for service, and as such would con
Wider the provisions of the commoi
law, like any other property, to th
I extent of even being liable for hi
debts. But it was a law passed afte
the service had expired, and formed n
part of the contract for service. Th
I pension is simply a gratuity given b;
Congress after the governmeet had fu:
filled all its agreement and duty t<
wards the soldiers, and as such can or
ly be used to the extent the -terms c
the act authorized, and no further.
This cuts off'a large number of clait
ants, but the decision is manifestly i
accordance with the law."
Gov. McClelland, the Secretary. c
the Interior, has asked the Attorne
Geieral for an opinion on the point c
law involved.
A TarrLi.so INCIDENT.-The ol

Col. Bragg's battery, named- Michaf

some cause it became unmanageab<
and glided through the platform to th

possession,. adjusted himself to cleni

estion of slavery is one that lies so
rnpletely out of -the jurisdiction of

imch better qualified to decide upon;
one which, as a nor-thern man, we
rsider ourselves pledged by our
-efathers not to interfere with, that
should feel like a knave, as -well
act like a fool, if we became an ab
tionist, or disseminated abolition
etrines. The worst enemy, even to
negro, are the abolitionists. They
ye put off emancipation indefinite.
